Ruchi, an award-winning restaurant located near Hamdan Street, Abu Dhabi, has opened its brand-new outlet in Madinat Zayed Shopping Centre. Indian film actor Fahadh Faasil inaugurated the new dining destination that builds on the high acclaim earned by Ruchi over the past 14 years.

With the unveiling of Ruchi at Madinat Zayed Shopping Centre, Hospitality Catering LLC, a leading catering and facility management company, is marking the expansion of its quick-service restaurant business. A third restaurant, Spice Lounge will open shortly in Ruwais Mall.

Since its opening in 2000, Ruchi has defined its credentials as the must-visit dining destination that offers an extensive spread of authentic North Indian and South Indian dishes and Chinese delicacies. In addition to being the favourite dine-in place for families, Ruchi has also been rated highly by food critics in the UAE, who have recommended it as ‘the backstreet gem.’

Rated highly for consistent and high standards of service and culinary excellence, Ruchi is now taking its flavours closer to customers through the new outlet at Madinat Zayed Shopping Centre to meet the growing demand.

“We have ambitious plans to further strengthen our restaurant business, which is highlighted by the opening of the new outlet in response to the strong demand from our valued clientele,” said Mr. Soman Menon of Hospitality Catering LLC. “Continuing on our tradition of delivering the highest quality food at affordable prices and superior service, the new outlet will assure our customers a truly 5 star dining experience. Madinat Zayed Shopping Centre serves as an ideal fit for our expansion to reach the wider community and offer them the true taste of Ruchi.”

Inaugurating the new Ruchi outlet, Fahadh Faasil said: “Ruchi has made India’s flavoursome dishes appealing to an even wider multicultural audience here in Abu Dhabi. By showcasing the diversity of Indian cuisine, the new outlet will enable more residents, particularly visitors to the Madinat Zayed Shopping Centre, to enjoy Ruchi’s truly delectable flavours.”

With dine-in and take-away options, Ruchi at Madinat Zayed Shopping Centre will serve a wide variety of South Indian, North Indian, Tandoor and Chinese delicacies prepared by a team of world-class professionals. Ruchi also serves the traditional ‘Sadya’ of Kerala served on banana leaves as well as dinner buffets with a wide range of choices on weekends.

The upcoming Spice Lounge at Ruwais Mall will be the first and only Indian quick-service restaurant in the shopping destination, and will integrate traditional cooking methods to offer authentic flavours in a modern setting.
